Summary
Not a bad strategy game, Legends Of Kingdom is less tower defense and more a hexagonal turn-based battler. It’s all presented like a cartoon in-game with comic book-style cutscenes which is all really nice and pleasant on the eye, it helps engage you and keep you playing. I like the general loop and it’s fine in short bursts but to be honest it never feels like it changes or mixes it up. Yeah alright it has random multiple choice encounters with dice but that always feels rigged, the combat just turns into ranged battles and it all just gets too samey that I soon tire of it all. It is funny as it looks like a mobile game and would actually be a good mobile game due to the gameplay loop and encounter times. Overall Legend of Kingdom is a strategy game that starts off strong but never changes gears making it a cruise rather than a road trip.
